Read More BACKGROUND: Health is a complex structure and has physical, psychological, and social approaches. The importance and impact of health assessment have caused considerable attention to be paid to the employees of the health system and the determining factors of this relationship. Hence, the main purpose of this study was to find out the bio‑psycho‑social health situation in prehospital emergency technicians as the research question staff.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present study is a systematic review and data have retrieved through extensive search in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed (including Medline), Cochrane Library, Irandoc, Magiran, MedLib, and SID databases with a combination of keywords of “Health, ” “Assessment, ” “Social,” “Psychological,” “Biological,” “Emergency,” and “prehospital,” according to the search strategy, between 2000 and 202111 studies were reviewed; then, they were entered based on the objectives of the study and narrative analysis was performed by the researcher.RESULTS: After analyzing the articles, a total of 4 factors affecting bio‑psycho‑social health in prehospital emergency technicians have been extracted and identified, which included health management, bio‑psycho‑social factors, occupational factors, and behavioral factors.CONCLUSION: This research showed four factors, namely health management, bio‑psycho‑social factors, occupational factors, and behavioral factors which could be effective in Bio‑Psycho‑Social health. Since prehospital emergency services have an important role in maintaining the health of the community, which requires attention to the bio‑psycho‑social health of emergency personnel, more studies have focused on health management among the four mentioned factors, but the need to examine the other three factors for a more accurate assessment of the health of emergency personnel seems necessary. Therefore, prevention and response strategies based on bio‑psycho‑social health assessment models are proposed to promote the health of prehospital emergency technician staff.

Read More BACKGROUND: Patient safety culture is an integral part of patient care standards and a prerequisitefor safe care. SBAR is an acronym for Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation; thiscommunication model has gained popularity in health‑care settings, especially among professionssuch as nursing. However, there is little evidence that nursing professional education can enhancepatient safety culture. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a SBAR‑based trainingprogram on patient safety culture in intensive care unit (ICU) nurses.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The quasi‑experimental study was carried out in 2018–2019 at areascovered by Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences, Iran. This study was performed on 60 nursesworking in ICU. The participants were randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups of30 each. For the experimental group, five workshop sessions of SBAR‑based program were held.For the control group, the patient delivery process was performed according to the ward routine. Datawere collected using patient safety culture questionnaires before and 1 month after the intervention,and were analyzed using descriptive and analytical tests such as paired t‑test, independent t‑test,and Chi‑square test by SPSS 22.RESULTS: The mean score of safety culture was 31 ± 23.5 and 55.2 ± 28.6 in frequency of reportingevents, 32.8 ± 17.8 and 54.3 ± 19 in overall perception of patient safety, 23 ± 20.1 and 52.9 ± 26 incommunication channel openness, and 35.2 ± 19.8 and 52.4 ± 18.8 in information exchange andconveyance before and after training intervention, respectively, so that they improved from poorlevel to neutral‑moderate level. There was no strength in any dimensions of safety culture; however,the implementation of the SBAR‑based program was significantly associated with patient safetyculture (P < 0.001).CONCLUSIONS: Improving patient safety culture requires attention to patient safety models suchas SBAR approach that provides an appropriate and reliable structure for quality improvement.SBAR‑based program training is effective in promoting patient safety culture; therefore, it isrecommended that managers use this technique to promote patient safety culture.

Read More INTRODUCTION: The most important goal of a proper health‑care system is to provide good health.Today, patients do not consider hospitals as simply a place of rehabilitation; rather, they comparethe hospital with a hotel in terms of environment, facilities, services, and quality of accommodation.This study aims to use DEMATEL approach to extract factors affecting the hoteling quality.METHODS: This was a descriptive, cross‑sectional study conducted in 2018. The study was carriedout in two steps. In the first step, the factors affecting the hoteling quality were extracted, and inthe second step, the DEMATEL technique was used to analyze and rank the cause and effect. Thestudy population consists of all experts in the fields of medicine and health care (hospital managers,deputies, and faculty members familiar with accreditation and hoteling), among which twenty expertswere selected using purposeful sampling and a questionnaire designed by the researcher consistingof 11 dimensions was distributed among them. The reliability of the questionnaire was calculatedusing Cronbach’s alpha coefficient which was equal to 0.85 while its validity was confirmed usingDelphi technique. DEMATEL approach was used for data analysis.RESULTS: The results show that among factors, human factors and economical–financial factorsand, among subfactors, maintaining human dignity and quick action in providing emergency servicesare among the most important factors affecting the hoteling quality. Maintaining human dignity andspeed of action in providing emergency services to patients was identified as the most importantfactor in improving hoteling quality.CONCLUSION: The results of this study can be used to evaluate the quality of accommodationsand health facilities, medical equipment, and building quality of hospitals, which can lead to effectiveactions and improvement of patient satisfaction and the eventual success of health transformation plan.
